This is Not How to Shotgun a Beer
Jul 30th
You don’t hold it sideways. You hold it straight up and let it run down your throat. And of course pansies can’t hold their booze.

Jul 27th
I went to a tiny store in the English village and walked out with this huge battered cod fillet and pile of French fries coated with vinegar and salt. There was no where to sit and no utensils. It was too far to walk back to the hotel so I sat on the curb and ate the whole thing as rush hour traffic creeped slowly by.
Yeah it was yummy.

Jul 26th
I am in London and picked up a Cornish Pasty from the pasty stand in Marylebone Station for the trainride back to Aylesbury.
I have no idea why this isn’t a universal food that supplants the hamburger as the ideal fast food. Delicious, easy to carry and makes a crowded train ride bearable.

Jul 22nd
The most exciting thing to ever happen to beer has now happened in my lifetime, and it brings tears of joy and excitement to my eyes. Its beer. Strongest ever made. And it is served in bottles stuffed into roadkill coosies. So Awesome!
The End of History from BrewDog on Vimeo.
From Pastemagazine.Com here:
Germany may have beaten England at the World Cup, but English brewers have taken their revenge, reclaiming the title of Most Potent Beer in the World. The British champions are Martin and James, a pair of twenty-something Englishmen who had a dream. In 2007, part of that dream became a reality when they launched their own Brewery and called it BrewDog. But that dream was both more ambitious and, well, stranger than most would have guessed. Their latest move is the most potent beer in the world at 55%—The End of Times —and stuff it in a dead rodent.
Only 12 bottles have been made, and each one is presented in a stuffed stoat or gray squirrel—roadkill stuffed by a local taxidermist. It’s also the end of the Beer War, at least from the English side. “The beer is the last high ABV beer we are going to brew,” according to the breweries’ website, “the end point of our research into how far the can push the boundaries of extreme brewing, the end of beer.”
I want me some dead critters to hold my beer. My beer doesn’t even have to be 110 proof like this stuff.

Jul 14th
Those whacky Brits will eat anything with an Italian flag on it, including this new sammich. But it looks and sounds gross.
From FoxDetroit here:
Tesco has released a “limited edition” carb-rich lasagna sandwich. It is promoted as being healthy, with nutritional information claiming 87 calories and 4.1 grams of fat.
The Daily Mail states that in reality it has 565 calories, more than a quarter of the maximum recommended daily for an adult man, and 26.9 grams of fat. In comparison, two McDonald’s cheeseburgers have 595 calories and 24 grams of fat.
Tesco said, “We think the lasagna sandwich could become the food of choice for anyone wanting a solid snack between meals.”
The Guardian’s Word of Mouth blogger Rick Peters said it was “redolent of the artificial flame-grilled flavor favored by certain fast food outlets and devoid of any garlic, oregano or other identifiable attempt at Italian-ness. Overall, the effect is of a saladless, cold, lightly pre-chewed beefburger,” he wrote.
Yeah, its about what I’d expect from British prepackaged sandwiches. Seriously, how could you package any runny substance on bread and expect it to stay fresh? On the other hand, check out this recipe from Daisy Cottage Cheese. Sure it has more calories and sodium, but it does look much more appetizing, especially using chicken in place of beef:
Ingredients
1/2 cup Daisy Brand 4% Cottage Cheese
2 slices sourdough bread
1 small cooked, sliced chicken breast
1/4 cup fresh spinach
2 fresh tomato slices
1 tablespoon low-fat shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons prepared pizza sauce
Directions
Spoon cottage cheese onto one slice of bread and spread edge to edge. Layer sliced chicken over cottage cheese. Layer fresh spinach over the chicken. Top with fresh tomato slices. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the tomato. Spoon pizza sauce on the top slice of bread and spread edge to edge. Lay pizza sauce topped slice on top of sandwich. Spray grill with non-stick spray. Grill on an electric counter top machine or griddle in a pan until cheese starts to melt and sandwich is warmed through.
Thanks to Mary for the story. Now I’m all hungry.

Can you say candwich?
Would you eat a PBJ from a vending machine can? How about BBQ chicken?
Check out the website for candwiches here. But don’t get too excited, this product was made with cash misappropriated from other investments.

Jul 8th
CSPI threatened to sue McDonalds because they said that the company giving toys to children was akin to “the effect of conscripting America’s children into an unpaid drone army of word-of-mouth marketers.”
To which McDonalds replied:
“Internet sites, blogs and network surveys suggest that public opinion is running overwhelmingly against your premise,” McDonalds CEO Jim Skinner wrote. “Our customer websites and phone lines at McDonald’s are also busy, with more than nine out of 10 customers disagreeing with your agenda.”
“CSPI is wrong in its assertions, and frivolous in its legal threats,” Skinner said, calling the group’s claims “over-the-top rhetoric.”
“CSPI’s twisted characterization of McDonald’s as ‘the stranger in the playground handing out candy to children’ is an insult to every one of our franchisees and employees around the world,” Skinner wrote. “When CSPI refers to America’s children as ‘an unpaid drone army,” you similarly denigrate parents and families, because they are fully capable of making their own decisions. You should apologize.”
“Parents, in particular, strongly believe they have the right and responsibility to decide what’s best for their children, not CSPI,” he wrote. “It’s really that simple.”
Wow, way to stand up for yourselves McDonalds. No restaurant in the fast food industry has done more to lead the way in providing healthy food than McDonalds. McDonalds introduced salads and their competitors scrambled to compete. Ditto with fruit cups and apple sticks. CSPI, who are all a bunch of vegan kooks should just shut up.

Jul 6th
I don’t drink coffee. But a lot of my friends either work for, or hang out at Starbucks, where one of my favorite and worn-out jokes is to ask the barrista for a Diet Coke, and of course, he/she will deny me my beverage of choice. So to satisfy my Diet Coke habit, I go to 7-Eleven a lot. I have noticed the cross promotions of slurpees and Mafia Wars. But now Zynga and 7-Eleven are teaming up to bring consumers Farmville brand snacks.
From GeeksAreSexy here:
Unless you’ve prevented their updates from appearing on your facebook home page, you probably get spammed by Zynga and their stupid games almost every day. And now even those who were bright enough to stop Zynga from spamming them online will have to endure seeing the company’s marketing material at their local 7-Eleven convenience stores.
I guess the Little Debbie snack cakes and Hostess pastries, which are all made from local bakeries, will be replaced with this:
Maybe its time I switched up to coffee.
